23 weeks!
Due Date: February 3, 2011
Total weight gain/loss: I haven't weighed this week.
Maternity clothes? Almost exclusively, but not quite.
Sleep: I sleep well until I wake up to pee...
after that, all bets are off.
Best moment this week: Getting to feel baby kick
from the outside for the first time!
Also, getting to Skype
with both Justin and my sister.
he seems more active than others.
Food cravings: Strawberries again!
Food aversions: Nothing really.
Gender: It's a boy!
Labor Signs: None.
Belly Button in or out? In.
I know, I still technically could have one..
but I've chosen to go without most of the time.
What I am looking forward to: Finishing the nursery!
Milestones: According to the What to Expect
app on my iPhone, my little Colin is
about the size of an ear of corn this week. :)
I can't believe how fast my little man is growing!

Thankful Thursday
there isn't much to talk about
except for baby-related things.
I mean, I work every day
from 8-4:30, but who wants
to hear about that?
***
Yesterday, I had my first
crazy pregnant lady cry fest.
I'm honestly not even sure
why I was crying so hard,
but I almost had to pull over
on the way home from work.
Thank you, hormones!
By the time I got home,
made some Kraft mac & cheese,
and watched a couple episodes
of Man vs. Food,
I felt much better.
***
I don't think it helps
that my darling husband
has to be out of town until the 15th.
The project he's doing now
has him gone for two weeks at a time,
which can be pretty frustrating sometimes.
We Skype often though, and that helps a lot.
I can't wait for him to come home,
so we can put together some nursery furniture
and get Colin's room (mostly) finished!
***
But, enough about the crazy side of my life. :)
On to Thankful Thursday!
Today, I am thankful
for the beautiful fall weather
we have been having lately.
Here in South Carolina,
it has been in the high 40s or early 50s
in the morning, and in the mid-70s
throughout the afternoon.
Just beautiful.
I am thankful
for the technology
that helps me keep in touch
with my husband and family,
so that even when I'm miles away
from the people I love,
I can still see and talk to them
whenever I feel the need.
I am thankful
for my sweet little boy
who I will get to see on ultrasound
again next Thursday,
and for the kicks I feel every day
that remind me he's doing well in there.
I really do have so much to be thankful for.
What are you thankful for
on this Thankful Thursday?
Friday 1 October 2010
22 Weeks
Due Date: February 3, 2011
Total weight gain/loss: +1 this week, for a total of 7 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Pants - all the time,
shirts - sometimes. I can still fit into some of my
looser fitting pre-pregnancy tops.
Sleep: Some nights are great, others are awful.
Last night was not a good sleep night,
thanks to a leg cramp at 3 am (OW),
having to get up and pee, and tossing and turning.
Best moment this week: Getting started
on the nursery... pictures to come
once we are finally finished!
Food cravings: French fries & ketchup.
Food aversions: Nothing really.
Gender: It's a boy!
Labor Signs: I'm starting to wonder
if I've had a few Braxton Hicks contractions..
but it feels more like pressure, and not so much like
the tightness I've heard other ladies describe.
Maybe Colin's head is on my cervix or something.
We will find out what position he's in
at our next ultrasound, which is in 2 weeks!
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I am looking forward to: Finishing the nursery!
Milestones: My belly is finally rounding out,
and I feel really cute and love to show it off. :)
